Have 5 GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer in a USB hub but cgminer only runs one of them. Looked all over the University of Google and have come up with nothing on how to configure cgminer to use all 5 stickminers. Anyone have a URL to a guide for how to fix this?

Question:I have a geekscience 2pac usb running cgminer on a windows 10 laptop using Slushpool.Everything is working fine.However the clock speed is 100(by default) and I want to increase this.How is this done?

When I run cgminer the black window pops up and says urlthen I typestratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333then username.workerthenpassword

where would i type the clock speed? or is it done on the slushpool website?

Q. How can I set a different frequency for the 2Pac vs the Compac?

cgminer will accept one or both parameters for the stick.--gekko-compac-freq 200 --gekko-2pac-freq 150

I'm actually using it at 300mHz and is running up to 40Ghs but the average is around 30-35 gHs.I would like to ask you guys here, if there is any coin you are able to mine with some concret results.After 3 week on slushpool for bitcoin, I'm at around 5% of minimum threshold.And is gonna be about 0.001BTCI tried then multi pool, to mine Digibyte, after a full day, totally zero. Was looking like the difficulty was like 700-900M and I wasn't able to get any share, so just new block and new difficulty, nothing else, a full day lost.Always on multi pool, I'm trying right now to mine mazacoin, MZC, look like as per difficulty level is the only one I could get, but only cryptopia work with this coin, and the website is still not accepting any new account since December.Do anybody knows how comes I'm able to mine the BTC, with it huge difficulty, but not able to mine digibyte?I do believe that is something wrong about the level of difficulty, and I don't know how to solve it. Any suggestion about?Or what you guys mine whit the Gekko??

No you don't, unless you're using 2 sticks. However, since the original Compac discussed in this thread went out of production over a year ago it's more likely you're using a single 2Pac, you should probably use the 2Pac support thread instead.

That said, stickminers will very likely never be profitable. They're learning tools, or lottery miners (mining solo), or unofficially and unfortunately, a way for greedy resellers to fleece people.

Thank you in advance!

wow! 300mhz and 40gh is pretty awesome, can you post some pics of your setup. would be much appreciated

So I have what I thought was going to be a simple set up. A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, a D-Link Powered USB Hub and a Gekko USB miner. However, I am only getting hashrates of around 500MH/s. Way lower that the 15GH/s advertised.

I think it's safe to say at this point that nobody who posts questions in this thread is using a Compac. Since the Compac went out of production well over a year ago, and since then we've made about four times as many 2Pacs.

And then there's the consideration that, even if it's a Compac in question, the 2Pac driver and cgminer are a couple years newer and much much better and with current support.

So, maybe people should just stop posting in this thread. And instead go over to the 2Pac Support Thread for questions about 2Pacs. And maybe consider searching in it just a bit before posting questions because almost all of them have been asked already. Especially if the issue is you're using stock cgminer without 2Pac support and your stick is enumerating as an AMU with a ridiculously low hashrate.

So, 2Pac users, please let this thread die. Go somewhere with current (and actual pertinent) information, where the name of your product is in the title.
